printing, building, and testing (oh my)

Things are good and busy at Team FunRaiser as we continue on our MOIs, now with all 5 sequences in progress! We’re working with the Cade to figure out printing CJ Walker; the Curiosity guitar is assembled and ready for finishing; Imagination has a completed rocket track and a functioning plasma ball; Serendipity is already 3D printed, and Iteration is next, with its circuitry already fully functioning. Meanwhile, progress continues across team members on the wood frame, the ball track, and the electronics.

We’ve had to do a bit of troubleshooting with the Cade 3D printers, and we also had to adjust our printing schedule to make sure we don’t fall behind. We’ve got plenty of manufacturing left, so we’re making sure to keep moving along!

We were able to get a few prototypes of our mounting mechanism printed so we could look at stability. Now, we’re hoping to start mounting into the actual frame, which has been sanded and is soon to be coated in Polycrylic. It’s thrilling to see different parts of our machine slowly come together!
